Picking up from their 2019 Nike by Levi’s collab, the powerhouses link up again for a 2025 refresh—dropping Air Max 95s laced with denim DNA and a curated range of apparel.
At the center of the new collection are three iterations of the legendary Nike Air Max 95, each meticulously crafted with premium Levi’s denim materials and unique design elements that honour both brands’ DNA.
- The Levi’s x Nike Air Max 95 White/Ecru pairs low-key hues of Ecru Denim and matte white with a gum sole, providing a neutral look that pairs perfectly with your favourite worn-in Levi’s denim.
- The stealthy and smooth Levi’s x Nike Air Max 95 Black presents 14-ounce black denim construction for a bold, monochromatic statement.
- Levi’s x Nike Air Max 95 Denim showcases 14-ounce indigo denim construction with the same mid-to-light wash pattern as the apparel collection. A matte navy sole and midsole replace the typical semi-gloss finish, while the upper incorporates fabric variations unique to this collaboration.
The OG “Big Bubble” Air Max units give a nod to the original Nike Air Max 95 while delivering supreme cushioning underfoot. With a slightly slimmed down silhouette, each shoe features exclusive details that celebrate both brands: Levi’s iconic Red Tab appears under the Nike swoosh on the right shoe only, while the sole’s shank displays Levi’s red branding. The sock liner showcases a Levi’s dollar bill print on a red substrate. All three colorways are presented in custom packaging – classic Nike Air Max 95 boxes redesigned in Levi’s red with added batwing details.
The collection’s Levi’s x Nike Trucker Jacket and Levi’s x Nike Baggy Jean reimagine classic denim silhouettes with contemporary fits, featuring authentic selvedge denim and matching mid-to-light wear patterns elevated by signature off-white chain-stitching details and co-branded brown leather patches with Nike swoosh logos that replace traditional Levi’s elements. The trucker maintains the iconic Type II structure with selvedge running through the interior placket and a prominent chainstitch Nike logo on the back, while the baggy jean offers a generous, oversized fit specifically designed to complement the collection’s footwear with the perfect leg opening and stack that enhances the sneaker’s profile.
